1. A tetrasaccharide, forming a crystalline tetrahydrate, has been isolated from the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of agar. Its fully acetylated and methylated derivatives have also been obtained as crystals.2. Identification of both monosaccharide and disacharide constituents has led to the assignment of the structure, O-3,6-anhydro-α-l-galactopyranosly-(1→3)-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-3,6-anhydro-α-l-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-d-garactose, to the tetrasaccharide isolated. The structure has been supported also by methylation data.3. The tetrasaccharide has been termed neoagarotetraose, based on the general nomenclature suggested for oligosaccharides derived from agarose and a similar polysaccharide.4. A probable course has been assumed for the enzymatic degradation of agarose.
1.从琼脂酶水解产物中分离出四糖,形成结晶四水合物。其全乙酰化和甲基化衍生物也已得到晶体。 2.单糖和二糖成分的鉴定导致了结构的分配,O-3,6-脱水-α-l-吡喃半乳糖基-(1→3)-O-β-d-吡喃半乳糖基-(1→4)- O-3,6-脱水-α-l-吡喃半乳糖基-(1→3)-d-半乳糖,至分离的四糖。该结构也得到了甲基化数据的支持。3.根据对琼脂糖衍生的寡糖和类似多糖提出的通用命名法,四糖被称为新琼脂四糖。4.琼脂糖酶促降解的可能过程已被假定。
